This is my first time screening a tenant. I got the responses below to the my questions. Is this typical responses to screening questions? I'm just curious and do you have any suggestions? The property management didn't comment to most of of my screening question,

@Rommel Pascual I have never run into that.

You could lookup who the actual owner of the previous property is in the public records and ask them. I bet they know the answers.

Also a good background check will tell you most of what you need to know. It will list any evictions, criminal, and credit to see how well they pay their bills.

If you meet with a prospective tenant in person try and get a look inside their car. If it is dirty and full of trash then this is likely how they also treat a rental property.
